Energy Flow Rate Calculator
Posted by Dinesh onQuantity of Waste Heat (Waste Heat Recovery)
How much heat is available? This can be derived from plant descriptions or by direct measurement. The amount of available heat can be calculated from the following basic energy flow rate equation:
Q = SVρcpΔT
Waste Heat Recovery - Energy Flow Rate Calculator
Formula:
Q = S × V × ρ × cp × ΔT
Where,Q = Energy flow rate
S = Cross sectional area
V = Flow velocity
ρ = Fluid density
cp = Fluid specific heat capacity
ΔT = Temperature difference between heat source and heat sink
